We have news… *takes deep breath*…
After an incredible, life-changing 2.5 years on our business journey together at Holistic House Skipton, we (Banu & Bethan) are parting ways. Never in heart or spirit, but in location and practicality ♥️
Since we came up with the idea to set up Holistic House in 2022/23, we have grown and evolved beyond our wildest dreams!
What started as two friends meeting for a drink at our local pub and naively saying ‘shall we give it a go? What do you reckon?!’ has since become a multi-award winning thriving local business, with a beautiful abundant community, so many new friends, colleagues and connections, and we’ve held one another’s hands through some tremendous highs and lows over the past few years.
However, the time has come for big decisions to be made with how the space looks and how our businesses evolve moving forward, and so in honour of our own growth, we’ve decided to step tentatively towards what our hearts and souls are yearning to be created from us, separately.
Banu’s Pilates business, The Pilates Room, has grown from strength-to-strength and she’s ready to expand! For those of you who know our building, you probably have guessed that the practicalities of moving the Reformer apparatus each time there’s a mat class is less than ideal, and she has exciting plans for her new space which is a beautiful two-storey building in Sandylands Business Park. It will have the same Banu-stamp of love, warmth, vibrancy and high-quality professional teaching! Follow ❤️🔥
And as for Holistic House Skipton… we’re staying (we’ve just signed for another 3 years eek) and evolving too! Over the next couple of months you’ll see updates on what’s coming over here 👀 but it’s fulllll to the brim of even more depth, community, creativity, love and heart.
Our doors will be closed from 30th December - 5th January for refurbishments, and we’ll both be back in the new year with the next phase of evolution! 🌀
We are very much still supporting one another and working along side each other, and we hope you’ll continue to support us as much as you have done, too ✨✨
All our love,
Bethan & Banu ###
